Bersatu: Wawasan must accept us if it wants to join PN coalition

Parti Wawasan Negara (Wawasan) must acknowledge Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) as an established member of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition if it genuinely seeks to join, according to Mohd Ashraf Mustagim, the head of Bersatu's Jerlun division.

“

We must be open. If they want us to be open to accepting them, they must also accept Bersatu back. If they attack every day, it will not solve the problem.

Mustagim emphasized that any party aspiring to join PN must respect the positions of its existing components. He stated that Bersatu has no right to block Wawasan's entry if the coalition's leadership agrees, but mutual respect is essential for any political cooperation.

"We must be open. If they want us to be open to accepting them, they must also accept Bersatu back. If they attack every day, it will not solve the problem," Mustagim said. He questioned how Wawasan's president, Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin, could seek to join PN if he considers Bersatu a primary enemy, while simultaneously making statements that suggest Bersatu should not be part of the coalition.

“

We are already in PN. If he wants to be part of this coalition, then he must accept the reality and the positions of the existing parties in PN.

"We are already in PN. If he wants to be part of this coalition, then he must accept the reality and the positions of the existing parties in PN," Mustagim added during a press conference. He assured that Bersatu would respect any democratic decision made regarding Wawasan's potential admission into PN, noting that democracy is based on the majority's voice.

“

We have no right to reject Wawasan's entry into PN. We live in a democratic world and democracy is the voice of the majority. If that is agreed upon, perhaps that will be the final decision.
